along with bad struts (apparently they're completely broken and will puncture tires soon, stealership told me so) and bad ball joints (apparently they'll break soon, same stealership told me this; they did an oil change), i was driving home today and everytime i put the clutch in i heard a crunching noise.
help?

Re: crunch
remove the bag of cheetos from under the clutch pedal
kidding aside, could be the shocks/struts from the balance of the car shifting when you let off the gas and push the clutch in. my maxima made weird noises when i shifted and it seemed to be the radiator shifting back and forth (assumed so since the radiator support wasn't secure after the car went offroading), but the person who bought it said it had to do with the clutch and he had to drive for a while in fifth gear on the highway to smooth out the surface of the flywheel which he said had gotten marks on from shifting a lot in mixed conditions...
